Tbilisi believes the opening of the Kazbegi-Upper Larse checkpoint
at the Georgian-Russian border will not pose a threat to Georgia's
security.
"We are convinced that the opening of the Kazbegi-Upper Lars checkpoint
does not pose any extra military or economic threat to Georgia," Kakha
Chitaya of the Georgian Foreign Ministry told journalists on Friday.
Chitaya had held consultations on this issue with his Armenian
counterparts in Yerevan last week.
"We are prepared for opening this checkpoint after a number of
technical issues are agreed upon," he said.
Armenia is very much interested in opening the checkpoint at the
Georgian-Russian border, he said.
